I know it may be hard to hold on to Belotti, but I really like the look of the squad. So what do you say, any experiences? Would it be possible to achieve Euro League qualification in the first season? In my Italy save the AI has managed to hang onto Belotti well into the second season (with no european football) so would say you have a great chance. the man is an absolute goal machine too.

Gungner Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I decided to start with Torino FC. Three players has come in: Lucas Romero from Cruizero for £4,5 mil, Yuto Nagatomi from Inter and Adama Traore from Monaco, both on season long loans. Nagatomi has a buy-out clause of £2,9 million. Only outgoing transfers has been some youngsters going out on loan. Pre-season has been good, 2 wins and 2 draws, and a win over Empoli sent us through to the 4th Qual round of the TIM Cup against Spezia. Season opener is going to be very rough, away to AS Roma. But here's to a succesfull save... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawsLFC88 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Currently in January 3rd season with Inter and it's looking tougher to keep hold of my top players.

Stackalee Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Not as good I'm afraid, he's pretty much a squad player.

5iver Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Just finished my second season with Benevento. In my first season I sold our best player, the right winger for 3 million euros and bought Kostas Galanopoulos on loan from AEK as backup BWM and Nocerino on a free transfer in the January season. I finished comfortably 9th. Now with the TV money and steady income throughout the year, I had the opportunity in the summer to strengthen the team. Firstly, I needed to create a strong centre-back duo, so in came Jorge from Tenerife for 3.5million euros and Marco Varnier from Cittadella for 8.5 million euros. The third big spend was winger Federico Di Francesco from Bologna for 5.5 million euros (I like tall, strong physical wingers). Remaining signings were: Danilo Cataldi renewed his loan from Fiorentina but instead of paying his salary of 2.2 million euros, it was reduced to 1.6million euros, still the highest paid player at Benevento. Alessandro Deiola from Cagliaro for 3.5 million euros. A promising central midfielder with 20 Determination and decent physical stats. Transfer-listed Joel Pohjanpalo from Leverkusen for 1.7 million euros as a backup striker for Massimo Coda and strengthening our wings. His compatriot, Teemu Pukki signed as a free transfer to supplement Pohjanpalo mainly in the wings but occasionally as a striker (noting his 1 Bravery!!!). Pukki immediately became the highest valued player at the end of season 2, being valued at 10.5 million euros. A third Finn, Sauli Vaisanen came from SPAL as a backup centre back for 800,000 euros. The final important signing was the 2-year loan of promising left back Federico Giraudo from Torino with a 6,000 euro monthly pay!! I finished 2nd season in 4th place, after being champions at the end of round 1. A bad slump followed, and we secured 4th place quite luckily with results going our way for Inter and Napoli who were right behind me. Juventus were champions again, followed by Milan and Fiorentina. I also won the Italian Cuo after a surprise quarter-final 0-1 away at Juventus, followed by an easy draw against Spezia in the semi-finals and Cremonense in the Final. I am punching well above my weight but now have transfers that need to be made with an assured place in the Champions League group stage. I also will only have about 10-15 million euros left for both transfers and wages, with an extra amount to follow at the end of August from the Champions League money. Who should I sign and what should I do? I need a goalkeeper to replace Brignoli who was loaned from Juventus for 2 seasons and Belec. They were both rotating but need someone better. My wingers have generally been woeful, and I need at least 2 CMs (ball winning or box-to-box midfielder to replace Danilo Cataldi and give breathing space to Chitsbah). I will need a taller RB and a top Complete Forward to compete with Massimo Coda. Any thoughts on given the budget and the priorities? 2 CM, 1 ST, 1 GK and 1 RB. I play a 4-3-2-1 with 3 CMs, 1 IF-S and 1 WS-S and CF-S. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbaoboy Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I second Fiorentina one of the most satysfying careers i have played on FM classy city, the kit, always the nearly men and the fact they despise Juve just adds the challenge of dethrowning them and bringing the title back to a city that desperately craves it. I have However got another interesting save going at the moment that i've been meaning to do for a while and that's US Lecce. They're is a huge culture and class difference in Italy that is reflected in Football between the north and the south and except for Napoli there are no real competitive teams in the top division, Bennevento are the whipping boys this year. and the south are really looked down upon by the richer cities and mocked regularly, That doesn't mean though that there aren't 'Big' teams in the south in terms of supporter/ultras. There are probably 4 standouts in Palermo (awesome kit) crazy owner, great youth propects, Catania (hideous badge) Bari (60,000 stadium) and Lecce who's kit is both crap yet strangely appealing, They have crazy fans too and the largest in terms of season ticket holders despite playing in serie C, so i thought what a worthy team to take back to the top and restore some pride. To add to the challenge i want to sign players born from the south because if this is a South vs North challenge i can't be winning with players from the enemy, also i found that they have a good friendship with Palermo which will be handy as they could be a source for many loans ans possible transfers My Brightest Prospect is this fella, turned down Lazio a dozen times and he is coming on really well i will be building the team around him This is How i am lining up in Serie B Signed Mansueto from Palermo who is just running the defence at 18 and sold Torromino our best player for 1M and signed Max clayton for free who is as good so blinding piece of business We are so far undefeated with 10 games left and roaring back to Serie A where the real fun begins, The wolves are coming.

Bilbaoboy Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Fiorentina are a bit of a goldilocks team in that you don't have a ready made squad like the big guns but they have enough power to atttract very good players if you can afford them, and if like me you want to raid the academies of Italy for a potential future super squad then you can snap them up with ease. I still play 17 so i don't know how much certain players have changed but in my save you start with some really good potential wonderkids straight off the bat if turored and well looked after New Vidic, Strong as an ox Lo Faso style is like young Ronaldo cuts inside and has alot of long shots but potentially deadly Don't know if he will be top top class but local harry kane type so he gets special treatment, great name Little pocket magician, youtube this kid along with Lo faso they look really good As for transfers i bought Lafont, the one you have is ok and Ddragovic is maybe one for future but Lafont is gettable not cheap but will be one of the best in world and ready to start immediate In real life they are looking at Cataldi and in my team he was playing for Italy and my Captain fantastic in 2 years, Can play sitting or B2B whatever you need he has it all, bit like Gerrard he will score the odd long ranger with 10 mins to go when your desperate Alongside Bennasi who also became Italy regular they were a force Next up Capezzi i got him really cheap from Sampdoria as he was only rotation But he came through the ranks at fiorentina so i had to bring him home, pure DLP really so in a 3 with the other 2 or with cataldi b2b next to him he is class I also dicovered on the editor that the great man himself Batigoal's son is on here, he is only 20 and plays striker for some amature team in argentina, Batistuta also can be made DOF he is useless but who cares just to have him back around the club is enough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then in January 18 I signed a rather obscure RW from the Norwegian league and started to employ Caprari out of position (while retraining him). In summer 2018 I bought Gnabry, then loaned Ryan Kent (from Liverpool) and kept on rotating the previous options. All in all Caprari as RW and Gnabry as LW worked pretty well.

mjg Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 No worries. 4-3-1-2 is my favourite tactic and in previous FM editions I have won consecutive Serie A titles and the Champions league. I have no individual player instructions as I like the players to have their own PPM’s. Fullbacks will run with ball down left/right. Centre backs stay back at all times and mark opponents tightly. Midfielders try killer balls often. Attacking midfielder will run with ball often and try killer balls often. Complete forward will shoot with power and try killer balls often. Advanced forward will run with ball though centre and place shots. In my save I’m currently at the beginning of January and still first. I'm confident I will win the league as I'm out the Italian Cup and there is no fixture congestion to worry about. Quagliarella and Zapata don't miss many chances but the weak links are Viviano and Alvarez but that is why they are three stars! PSG have made a bid of £24M for Torreira but I have renegotiated it to £30M. If he goes I will replace him hopefully with Manuel Locatelli. I buy only Italian players so my Samp squad will be all Italian by season 4. In season two I plan so sign either Alessandro Bastoni or Riccardo Marchizza to replace Ferrari as he is not worth signing outright for £12M. I will also look at signing Felice D'Amico who will be my first choice attacking midfielder by season 4. I’m sure I will receive bids for Linetty and Praet in the summer so I will look at Nicola Barella and Alberto Grassi to replace them. In Fm18 I am finding that clubs are bidding for my players regardless of ability as I received a bid from Napoli for Sala. In FM17 I had to offer to clubs before a transfer bid was received for any of my title winning squad. Also the future transfers is incorrect as Schick is to be bought by Roma for £8m but there should be an extra €20m to be received in 2020. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are few interesting players I have not altered the setting for corner/ free kicks. For Viviano as Udinese are third bottom and looking to be relegated Alex Meret would be perfect. As for Alvarez I will hopefully sell him in the January 18 window and rotate Ramirez, Djuricic and Capriari until D'Amico if purchased is a three star player. The Samp youth team have three excellent prospects, Gergely Hutvagner, Mario Ferreira and Ibourahima Balde. When they are 18 I plan to loan them as a first team player to Italian B or C teams with Great/Superb training facilities. I find using only Italian players a better challenge as it limits your choice and they are far more expensive to buy which makes for a longer save! Another tip is to have three of your best prospects in the first team squad and make them available for the U18/20 as the first team coaches are far better.

In the prem with the top teams the transfer budgets/wages become ridiculous. German is slightly less but even with Dortmund 2nd season I got 95m. Much more rewarding having a smaller budget and trying to find the less known players. Fiorentina have a nice squad to start with, some big talents at the club. 3-5-2 used to be best formation for them in previous versions but 4-2-3-1 is perfect for there players in Fm18. There fullbacks, right especially, look poor, upgrade there but they are already in the red with wages from the start. I'm torn between Fiorentina and Lazio personally.

Bilbaoboy Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 It also forces you to use what you have and develop the kids as best as you can, i am going by fm 17 so 18 might vary a little but i know Fiorentina inside out, the right back Diiks is potentially really good needs tutoring but very quick, also Babacar still just aboutt qualifies for tutoring so if you can get him pumped up you have a quality striker Hagi,Milenkovic, and Chiesa are sure wonderkids top top class and there are 4 or 5 others who are maybe wonderkids. I got into both Lazio and Fiorentina saves deeply and researched both clubs what eventually put me off Lazio a bit was that they have that huge stadium which is only half full, and it seems they are more interested in beating Roma than winning the league Fiorentina on other hand have mad support and a beautiful stadium (it's designed in a way that is overlooks the tuscan hills and looks like something out of a portrait) which is rocking, also they HATE juve with a passion and have been screwed over by them a few times in past, they lost the league on final day to them in 80s due to very suspect reffing and they have never forgotten nor come close to winning the league since, add to that Bernardechi and Baggio being nicked by them causing riots outside of the ground so you have motivation to put them in there place Also i always found it interesting how Batistuta stayed with them for the best part of his career when he could have gone anywhere and they never challenged just because he fell in love with the club and city Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stackalee Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Thanks, he was a deal rising to £17.5m, I think it was about £10m upfront. Well worth it, perfect strike partner for Belotti imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
